Introduction Introduction The IP-011 Printer Controller works as an interface between the Konica 7020 series Copier and a workstation, and enables direct printing from a workstation environment. The printer engine on the printer side and the optional network board include operating manuals (7020 series operating manual/KN-304 operating manual (CD)) respectively.
Introduction A part or all of this operating manual shall not be used or copied without permission. Konica shall have no liability for any influences caused by using the 7020 series copier +IP-011 system and this manual. Information written in this operating manual is subject to change without notice.
Introduction About Positioning of This Manual This manual describes how to operate the Printer Controller Konica IP-011 when the Konica 7020 series copier is used as a printer by connecting it to computers or your network. An optional network board (KN-304) is required so as to use the Konica 7020 series copier as a printer by connecting it to your network.

Chapter 1 Outline Contents of This Chapter This chapter describes the outline of the Konica IP-011 Printer Controller. For the Copier, Konica 7020 series to which the Konica IP-011 Printer Controller is attached, refer to the operating manual of the Copier.
When the command for printing is executed from applications on Windows 95/98 or Windows NT, print data is sent to the IP-011 by way of a parallel cable (IEEE 1284) or a network. Then, the IP- 011 rasterizes the print data to image data, which is sent to the Konica 7020 series Printer Engine by way of the PCI bus.
CPU: Power PC 401 GF Program memory: FLASH ROM System memory: 16MB SD-RAM Memory The IP-011 is equipped with 16 MB memory as standard and can be expanded to 80 MB at the maximum. I/O Interface Parallel Centronics (IEEE1284)/ amphenol 36 pin male connector...
How to Use Memory Most of memory of the IP-011 is used for rasterizing images and a part of it is used for the system operation. In addition, E-RDH memory of the Konica 7020 series is used for print processing.
Chapter 1 Outline General View The IP-011 is mounted to the Konica 7020 series. The following is the general view. IP-011 Parallel Port The IP-011 is attached to the back side of the Konica 7020 series. Konica 7020 IP-011 Printer Controller 1-7...
